Weaning B Off Mommy’s Milk..

All this while, she was still breastfeeding. Even when I go to work and during oncall nights, my fridge is full of milk for B. Everyday I expressed milk at workplace religiously. Now I guess it’s a good time to wean her off slowly.. I’m gonna start her on formula milk during daytime and mommy’s milk at night..

I truly wish I can continue to breastfeed her up until two years as recommended in the Al-Quran but I have my own reason for doing this. And I’m not telling you yet ๐ That one will be in another entry ๐ Promise!!

I’ve asked many of my paediatrician friends on choosing the right milk for Little B. I read the article about excessive sugar (lactose) in formula feeding that became a big issue in the US recently. And also I saw the advertisement about no-sugar-added Anmum Essential milk.. I got really confused, I believe many mommies feels the same way too.. Many of my paediatrician friends said that the milk is actually depending on the baby, you can give so-called the best formula on the shelf, but again if it doesn’t suit your baby, it won’t work..

So, yesterday I went to the supermarket. First time in the susu aisle..

Oh Em Gee!! I never knew I have too many options..

I got headache just by looking at the choices..

and went home empty handed.. Hahhaha…

So, mommies out there, may I know what formula milk do you give to your babies?

I agree 100% with Umie…. i dah wat ‘so-called-experiment’ (mcm saintis la plak) U can see lactogen milk colour compared to others, Its colour is pucat2 n cair2 gitu, just like our milk, (the taste i tak tau plak, bagus la, looks like umie, u did ur own experiment 2.. hehehe) compared to other formula, the colour of them is very yellowish, i assume byk lactose. well, u can try ur own. and taste it urself. and the harga, veeerrryyy affordable tau?… enfalac or enfagrow pon okay, and the colour is verry yellowwish and the taste, yup, its too sweet. Plus, the price is quite expensive.
Well, this is my opinion… or u can just do the experiment ur own…. gud luck!!

i did try biolac too.. mcm ok, plus nak support local production (it is, isnt it?) tp lepas tu mcm susah nk dpt so back to 123.
what i did was during the 1st year mmg i compare the nutrition fact between all, and choose which i deemed the ‘best’
after 1yr, i just try to switch to whatever applicable- cheap and kids like it hehe u shud know they cost a bomb!
tried to give fresh milk but not really working

i ade problem la..my son 2 y.o minum isomil since 2months due to cow milk allergic, i xigt scientific term,hehehe…so now he still with his isomil..i nk tkr susu lain, but he refused..mcm2 susu i beli n try..do u have any idea x? i mmg agree with Abbott brand..hope u can share..heheh

My son use to take S26 thereafter followed by Anmum Essential…He’s now 12 years old and still goes on Milk until d consl pead ask to slow down due to some side effect to his stomach! Happy trying mommy…

my first doughter drink anmum from baby untill now she is 4 years old already..I breastfeed my second one..and i’ll choose anmum also when the time to change to formula susu.. ๐ ..yea i think anmum suit her since i took anmum milk for mama during pregnant so just continue to give my kids anmum.. ๐ ..

Same goes to me, aya…since im pregnnt till i hd 2nd baby i choose anmum for me n my childrens…my 1st son i try change to pedisure since my son didnt like to eat, but he refused it n dont want any milk. When i give him anmum milk again he cntinue he’s anmm milk.

my just turned 1 yr old daughter was bbf + given formula as well. started with Enfalac A+, then to Enfapro A+, now dh 1 y.o. i try to change to her big bro’s milk, Gainplus (reason being, boleh hantar 1 tin je kt nursery, senang). Alhamdulillah, she took it very well – no muntah/diarrhoea/constipation. Reason for choosing Enfa a+, because heard from so many ppl before that its the best FM in the market. The elder bro was given the same, then nak tukar to Enfagrow A+ at 1 y.o. tp dia constipation teruk sgt. hence the Gainplus. trying to give premium brands selagi termampu. haha.. but yes, it depends on the baby too. if it were to be me, i would start with the best (that i know of), tgk lah mana yg baby boleh accept.
just my 2 cents worth.

“I truly wish I can continue to breastfeed her up until two years as recommended in the Al-Quran but I have my own reason for doing this. And Iโm not telling you yet That one will be in another entry Promise!!” – Bella nak dapat adik ek?….. kitorg tunggu update dr Dr. nnt ek…

My boy was on similac when he was born, pediasure on first year, enfagrow on second year and now mamilgold on fourth year … whoalla! i just adore his skin, figure and he can walk the talk hahaha ๐ nah it’s hard to tell actually depends kot ๐ i cant really give a good suggestion but what ever it is, Good luck, Doc! I smell new baby on the way yehah Bella will be soon become Kakak :))

I feel u Datin!!i’ve tried most of the formulas milk in the market..on my first 2 girls,i started with Enfa until they both up to 1+,then i continue with Dutch Lady (Choc flavour) and my 3rd girl she started with S-26 and still continue,now she’s 1+ yrs old ๐ its very much depending on ur baby which one she prefer the most..they might say the most expensive milk is the BEST,but if the child doesn’t like it,whats the point..good luck in finding the best formula milk for Bella ๐

Enfagrow, so far enfagrow has a highest DHA, for baby brain development. but for sure cannot believe in milk company rep said about their product, so do some research and comparison by yourself. I’m not believe in less sugar milk, sure they added sugar in FORMULA MILK.. because it is a formulated milk. For me if the milk is expensive, sure they formulated the milk very neat..

My baby girl Aila is now 10 months old and I’ve been breastfeeding her until now. I plan to continue breastfeeding her until she’s at least 2 years old – InsyaAllah. But at the same time I do use formula milk (S-26) to mix with the baby cereal ๐

I agree with the above commentator. Bagi fresh milk. My kid loves it more than formula:) I even bought a nice feeding cup to get her interested. A doctor told me if the kid is eating well, she doesnt need the vits in the formula. I was told that in western country, they only gave formula up to 1 y.o.

the only drawback is when you are traveling. if she is used to having warm milk, susah la plak nak warm up milk in the box:)

But if u wanna give her formula, maybe can try formula that has less DHA. As some formula has strange or fishy taste due to the high DHA content.

as for other mothers. i also thinking to give the best to my baby. At first yes I give her anmum. because there is no sugar added and whatsoever. however, my baby cannot cope well with that milk. she got warded for 2 days just because she not po-po for about 4 days. doctor trying very hard to push it out. looking for my baby crying i’m thinking to give her another formula milk. then i choose another milk. also a bit expensive one. cannot remember the brand. then same thing happened.

finally i decide to give the cheaper one. dumex. until now she’s fine and healthy.

Hi. I breastfed my dotter until 1yo, n started gave he FM one day after her bday. Sedih tp have to sbb 3wks after that, i delivered my 2nd baby. Yes, i breastfed my dotter while im pregnant my second baby, sbb xsampai hati nk stop bf before at least she reached 1yo. Then i tried pediasure n luckily she was ok :). Dia minum until 4yo, but now changed to anmum. Bcoz of the iklan yg ckp xde gula tu la hihi. Anyway all the best

Before I breastfeed my Hannah too…but then when she started on formula milk I choose dutch lady cause it’s smells good and it suits her.I’ve tried similac/anmum and lactogen…but to me larr..doesn’t smell good. It actually depends on your Bella…I suggest that you buy the trial pack of the formula milk see which one suits Bella. For my Hannah dutch lady is the best…:)

I still bf my son who is now 2y7m. Since i’m working,and when he turned almost 1yo, he refused EBM at all. What i did was, i spared him dutch lady yg kotak kecik,umur 1-6 yr dlm 3 kotak when hes in hursery.he refused fresh milk n formula. Till now,i make sure inside his bag,ada milk,yogurt,fruits. N i even cook his food untill he is two! Cerewet kan! Btw doc, to me which milk is better for B is no two,apa yg penting,what she’s eating. As long she is eating healthy food and consume other sources of calsium besides formula milk,than should be ok.but that is just my 2cent. Btw,i’m 26 wk preggy, still bf my son,working, n hubby’s away. I’m all bymyself.owh penatnya. Tp nak try how is it feel to tanderm nursing both at once.hihihhi.gd luck in searching. U’ll find one soon insyaallah.kiss to bella;)

Just for sharing… My baby first started to drink Lactogen, and then her skin became rashes. Then I changed to Anmum. A few months after that her poo poo went to greenish colour for over a week. I changed to Dulac… Recently, she got severe diarrhea for over a week. Went to see the doctor, found out about the ‘lactose intolerance’. So the doctor suggested my baby to drink Similac LF (Lactose Free). Alhamdulillah, she can accept this formula milk. This is new to me and some mommies outhere wasn’t aware of this… =)

i thnk my son got prob like ur bby…at first i bg dtch ldy,for a few mnths it was ok,then he got diarrhea.so his paed was advce me to chnge 2 anmum essential.Alhamdulillah its ok 4 a few weeks,but then turn 2 severe diarrhea again for almost 2 months,n now his paed advice me to go 4 lactose free milk..so luckly me 2 find u here,i just wanna confirm wit u,is similac is the best lactose free milk out there?how about enfalac?i’m in doubt 2 choose my best LF milk for my 1 y.o Umair..

Hi Umair.
I’m not sure about Enfalac. Since the doctor advised me to use Similac LF, so I just stick to that one. My sister also gave Similac LF to her son before. After one year, she changed to Lactogen. It is depending on your son indeed. You can have him try Enfalac. Try buy for small package first. If his tummy ok with it, then you can carry on with it.. =) Good luck!

Hi dr.i started gave my baby milk formula when he was 3 month.he’s ok with it until 5 month he get rashes at his cheek.my baby allergi to cow powder.then i change to isomil.and now my baby already 1 year 3 month i gave dumex dugro

Hi doc! Mum gave me Isomil (soybean milk) when I was a baby. She still give it to my youngest sister. It was recommended by a doctor. So far that one is the best milk. Mum did try gave me few other brands but they aren’t suitable for me & the sisters. So she gave us Isomil. A doctor said, “cow milk (the other brands) is for calves, soy bean is for babies). Not sure tho, but I guess that statement is quite true.

However, it’s surprising that most mothers here commented that weaning meant pregnancy. Although breast milk production do drop, it is still possible and advisable to continue breastfeeding through pregnancy. Maybe I didn’t quite get what they meant. Unless it is to wean to start the fertility cycle again.

It’s all trial and error I guess. From what I’ve learn all formula milk has sufficient basic requirements for all babies, what differs from one another is their additive supplement like how they advertise, hence all the pricing difference and so. All formula milk step 1 and 2 (below 12m) has higher nutrition compared to step 3 and 4 (above 12m), so most of them are pretty much good for babies. The important thing to try and see what suits B’s preference and tummy. Whether she accepts a certain brand or not. Another thing that I’m fussy about is how well or easy the formula mixes, I have experience certain brands that requires rigorous mixing or requires a certain degree of water to mix well which ofcourse is something that I don’t fancy.. When changing to step 3 pulak, you will experience a different level of formula milk with certain brands, most commonly – excessive milk fat residue (in the bottle, after feeding). Again, it’s all trial and error Doc ๐ Btw, my son settled for Anmum step 1 and 2 and Isomil, now he’s on Friso Gold step 3.. If you want details on all the brands I’ve tried and the results, I can email it to you ๐ Good luck!

please send me detail for friso gold step 3.. whether this formula milk sweet or not because my daughter dont like sweet milk. i decide to change my formula milk because annmum step 3 not suitable for her. she have
diarrhea and treated at hospital for a week.

Hi Agnes,
It’s been over a year since I’ve written the comment and I have somewhat forgotten most of the finer details. But if you’re looking for a formula milk for babies over 1year which is not sweet, it’s quite tough as most formulas for above 1year has a more or less sweet taste, even though they say “no additional sugar” or “sugar free” because the sweet taste is not from sugar but other additives. During diarrhea treatment, doctors will usually recommend soy milk (isomil/nursoy/etc). Hope your daughter is recovering.

JH, i think not advisable to bfeed when you are prgnt, boleh miscarriage.. in fact it will take some time jugak nak wean a baby. my fren still bfeed and prgnt in the same time, end up bila bersalin dua2 nak bfeed.. yg kakak menang.. kesian adik.. my opinion apa pun when you are prgnt better to wean your baby.. it took me 3 weeks to stop my baby from bfeed when i got prgnt.. nasib baik baby tak meragam..

Salam Dr. Halina, first time visit ur blog coz my sister introduced it to me. I will definitely follow u. My 3yo son now drinks SUSU ILHAM. 100% Bumiputera Muslim owned company. Before this pernah minum pediasure sebab die susuh nk makan then gainplus kid. We started to know susuilham about a year ago. At that time my son still breastfed at night. Alhamdulillah we really see the difference esp immunity system anak. Sudi2 kan lawat blog review susu ilham at http://susuilhamku.blogspot.com

am keep following ur blog..it`s good to hear if u r expecting!~ngeee…
just to share my thoughts with u, i think it`s no need to stop bf or mix with the fm if u r preggnt..coz u can stilll bf while pregnnt.. ade org ckp kalo bf while pregnnt nnti nutrient x smpi kt fetus bla bla..but the truth is is not affect the fetus at all..so u can still can happily bf..no worries..;D
from my experience, i still bf my son while i`m preggy, till i stop him when he reach 2y 8m.o..a wonderful bf journey!! ;p

woooooowww….. I need to give long wow to this shop… they have a lot of baby milk!!!!! I can get eye problem if look at these milks for one day… I wonder how the shop assistant bare with this….. kihkihkih…. Doc… sorry cant comment anything here coz i’m not married yet… ;)…

Hi dr, if ur really pregnant..congrats..btw i see no rush in you trying to wean bella of breastmilk…but if ur keen on it, the least u cud do is BF her till 1yo. then introduce freshmilk either cow/goat to her. Im not anti -formula but we all knw Breastmilk is the best. Good luck=)

do visit nearby justlife shop (kedai organik)..they offered organic formula milk for babbies with certification from international bodies..one of the outlet is at puchong i0i boulevard..or u can liked them on facebook: justlife

Me still breastfeed but since susu almost kering so i started her with FM during day time and BF at night. Currently im in DUbai. one of the mums here suggest me LIPTOMIL product from sweeden. Excelantte! Google to get more info. i think in Malaysia ada but lil bit expensive but then its for our child so no harm..

hey there. kite punye baby pun nama sophia, she was born on 19th july. kebetulan huh. i was suprised when i knew that u named ur baby – sophia n they’re just 2 days apart came out to this world, ehehe!

actually sunnah nabi amalkan susu kambing, and not susu lembu. some ustazah when they get pregnant they are really particular about milk consumption during pregnancy. i think its the same when it comes to baby ๐

i start with novalac.. after birth.. after 2 tins changed to S26.. after the next 3 box he is always perging after take milk.. then change to isomil.. also same.. Then my sister said try to lactogen.. alhamdulillah he’s ok now.. and the bdan pun naik montel.. now he is going 5 mths…

hi doc, maybe u can try karihome- goat’s milk? as a mother, before I let my son to consume the formula, I taste it first. I’m glad it’s not sweet just like any other formula plus it’s goat’s milk-second after mother’s milk.
